I sincerely believe that it is far more beneficial and far less costly to help a child build confidence than it is to fix an adult who has little or none.

Don’t be a copy of someone else

I’m sure you have heard the quote, “You were born an original, don’t die a copy.” How well are you following this good advice?

Most of us spend our lives trying to be like someone else instead of being the best version of ourselves that we can be. As small children, we look to our parents and want to be just like them when we grow up. When we go to school we look to our friends and other schoolmates, trying to imitate their appearance and behaviours. Then as an adult we see people who are successful and we try to model their lives.

We all want to be loved and accepted but we believe that we don’t have the qualities necessary to succeed, so we try to copy other people. The sad fact is, that the people we admire most have just as many flaws and imperfections as we do, but we don’t see them. We need to realize that we are all unique individuals with special talents and abilities.

Have you been successful in fulfilling your own dreams and reaching your own goals? Or have you just fulfilled someone else’s dreams and reached someone else’s goals? This is certainly not the way to find a happy and rewarding life.

Don’t try to be somebody else. Just be the awesome person you were created to be! Be confident in yourself! Believe in yourself! There is only 1 of you – 1 special you!!! YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL!
